Hi all,

We have a business requirement that needs Lucene to search similar to 
contains (of SQL) such that we can have something like *ucen*  which 
should return lucene and lucent ... unfortunately wildcards are not 
allowed at the start of the search keyword - how should I go about this? 
Is this possible in Lucene? Is this advisable (some forums suggest this is 
a huge performance hit)?

Thanks for all the help
